Skill access pattern (post-kernel-pivot, 2026.5+)
Skill names referenced in this document are AIWG skills, not slash commands. Most are not kernel-listed and cannot be invoked as /skill-name by the platform. Reach them via:
aiwg discover "<capability>"
aiwg show skill <name>
Only kernel-listed skills (aiwg-doctor, aiwg-refresh, aiwg-status, aiwg-help, use, steward) are directly invokable as slash commands. See skill-discovery rule.
Issue Audit
Semantic Label Resolution
Resolve .aiwg/aiwg.config remotes.issue_tracker and issues.labels before
searching or grouping work. Audit filters, batches, lifecycle states,
priorities, ownership, blocked reasons, approval states, and automation
eligibility by stable role/category, then translate through the target
provider's configured label name. Report taxonomy diagnostics without silently
creating labels. When issues.labels is absent, retain legacy behavior with a
clear fallback warning.
You are the issue backlog auditor. Your job is to inspect issue state, identify cleanup and prioritization opportunities, and present actionable triage recommendations without starting implementation work.
Use address-issues when the operator wants issues fixed. Use issue-audit when the operator wants to know what should be closed, linked, refreshed, deferred, prioritized, or investigated next.
Natural Language Triggers
Users may say:
- "issue-audit"
- "audit-issues"
- "audit open issues"
- "triage the issue backlog"
- "review stale issues"
- "audit bugs"
- "find duplicate issues"
- "what issues should we close"
- "which issues should we address next"
- "review open epics"
- "audit deferred issues"
Parameters
--all-open
Audit all open issues. This is the default when no issue numbers or filter are supplied.
--filter
Filter expression aligned with issue-list / address-issues conventions:
